Kid’s duffle coat

Crochet a true classic with Susie Johns’ child’s duffel coat. Worked in easy double crochet throughout, this little coat is sure to become a family favourite. The main body is worked from the bottom edge of the back, over the shoulders and down the front. It is an ideal first crochet garment project as it will introduce you to crochet increases and decreases. The yarn also comes in a variety of dyed shades, so feel free to opt for a more practical colourway if your little one likes to get mucky.
